Subaru Crosstrek Owners Manual: Safety tips regarding the BSD/RCTA approach indicator light/warning buzzer
In the following cases, operation of the BSD/RCTA approach indicator light and the warning buzzer may be delayed or the system may fail to issue these warnings.
- When a vehicle moves to the neighboring lane from a lane next to the neighboring lane
- When driving on a steep incline or on repeated sharp uphill and downhill grades
- When going beyond a pass
- When both your vehicle and a vehicle driving on a neighboring lane are driving on the far side of each lane.
- When several narrowly-spaced vehicles are approaching in a row
- In low radius bends (tight bends or when making turns at an intersection)
- When there is a difference in height between your lane and the neighboring lane
- Immediately after the BSD/RCTA is activated by pressing the BSD/RCTA OFF switch
- Immediately after the shift lever/ select lever is shifted to the "R" position
- When extremely heavy cargo is loaded in the cargo area
During reversing, operation of the BSD/ RCTA approach indicator light and the warning buzzer may be delayed or the system may fail to issue these warnings under the following conditions.
- When backing out of an angled parking space
- When a large-sized vehicle is parked next to your vehicle (That vehicle prevents the propagation of radar waves.)
- When reversing on sloped roads
- When reversing at a high speed
The BSD/RCTA approach indicator light may illuminate when driving close to solid objects on the road or road side (such as guardrails, tunnels and sidewalls).
The BSD/RCTA approach indicator light may flash when turning at an intersection in urban areas or a multilane intersection.
The BSD/RCTA approach indicator light may flash and the warning buzzer may sound if a building or a wall exists in the reversing direction
In the following cases, the system may detect a vehicle driving two lanes away from your vehicle.
- When you are driving on the near side of its lane from the corresponding vehicle
- When the vehicle driving two lanes away is driving on the near side of its lane from your vehicle
